Prepare the Cucumbers: Using a vegetable peeler, partially peel the English cucumbers by making alternating vertical strips along their length, leaving some skin on for a decorative effect. Slice each cucumber into 1-inch thick rounds. Using a small spoon or melon baller, carefully scoop out the seeds and a small amount of the flesh from the center of each cucumber round, creating a cup. Arrange the cucumber cups on a serving platter.

Make the Peanut Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, full-fat coconut milk, fresh lime juice, low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Adjust Consistency and Seasoning: Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until the filling reaches a smooth, pipeable consistency that is not too thick or too runny. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, adding more if needed.

Fill the Cucumber Cups: Transfer the peanut filling to a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off). Pipe a generous amount of the peanut filling into the center of each prepared cucumber cup, creating a decorative peak or swirl.

Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh cilantro and crushed roasted peanuts over the filled cucumber bites. For best flavor, chill for at least 15 minutes before serving.
